While men and women who fly in American spacecraft are known as " astronauts ", and those who fly in Russian spacecraft are " cosmonauts " , those who fly in Chinese spacecraft are known as  " yuhangyuans" or sometimes "taikonauts. "

The word "yuhangyuan" is Chinese for space navigator. It is the name used by official media when reporting on the nation's astronauts. The word "taikonaut" is derived from "taikong", the Chinese word for space. The term is believed to have been used first by a Singapore website.
